Good overview and visuals for cross-wind landing technique.

Learning something new
Makes it worth taking the effort to watch. As an experienced tail dragged pilot, I wasn’t aware of the aileron control position during rollout. Makes total sense.

This was a well presented bit of information.
This was a well presented bit of information. John and Martha again explain things, show videos of what is being done.

Try this at the airport
Nice demonstration of a crosswind landing. I prefer to slip all the way down and avoid the ugly transition from crab to slip, close to the ground. But it works as demonstrated in this video.

Good
A very nice explanation. The drill of flying 10ft above the runway with the wing low and nose lined up with the opposite rudder is not taught and practiced enough.

     
Crosswind Landings Made Easy - Online

 

Concise and great
It is a great course and I think everyone (even a microlight pilot) needs to learn this skill, meanwhile it is a short course...

Nice refresher
Excellent course. It’s nice to see a perishable skill demonstrated so that others can get their minds wrapped around it. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then videos are priceless.

     
Crosswind Landings Made Easy - Online

 

Nice refresher
A clear and easy-to-follow explanation of crosswind landing technique. The video also makes excellent use of in-flight and ground perspectives to clarify what is happening during the landing. The video was clearly produced a while ago, but the lack of computerized graphics, etc. makes everything much easier to understand and relate to.

Excellent instruction
I really enjoyed this course, I found the instruction to be fantastic and, as a student pilot, am genuinely far less scared, perhaps even excited to begin tackling some crosswind landings.

Great Way of Thinking!
This reminder that the sideways component of lift is the same as at altitude helped me to grasp the concept of crosswind landing. Thanks for the easy explanation!

Made sense.
Made sense. A little more explanation of what you are doing with the rudders would be helpful.

     
Crosswind Landings Made Easy - Online

 

very clear method
Gives one plausible answer to the crab vs. slip controversy on landing: first crab, then slip. I like it! Should go a long way toward precision (repeatability) on crosswind landings.

Great
Another great course

even in a low wing
I learned to fly in cessna 150s when I transitioned to a Piper Warrior which I had just bought, the guy giving me my checkride wanted me crab into the crosswind....he didn't like the wing low method...until I did one and we had a perfect landing.

It was very clearly presented. I would like a little more discussion about transitioning from the crab on approach to the wing-low over the runway and exactly when that happens

It takes the mystery out of landing in a crosswind. Makes sense the way it is explained in this course.
